Datang Longya

Chapter 754
As soon as he entered the Governor's Mansion, Di Renjie saw the person he least wanted to see - Wu Mei!

No way, talk about it but others, fight?Regardless of whether a man and a woman will kiss each other, how can he beat a woman as a big man?
The title of "Beautiful in the World" is really not given for nothing. Although Wu Mei has not yet bloomed, she is already extremely beautiful at this time.

Even the old man couldn't help swallowing.

Wu Mei greeted her and scolded Di Renjie for a while:
"I told you before, how can you be the guard of the prince's senior brother with your thin arms and legs? I didn't expect you to actually follow the prince's senior brother to spot check! If the prince's senior brother makes any mistakes, even if there is a master covering you You, you have to peel off your skin, do you know that!"

Di Renjie said dissatisfied: "Although I am very thin, I carry a weapon. Don't think I am so weak."

Wu Mei wanted to say something else, but seeing the old man as an outsider, she held back.In front of outsiders, she still gave Di Renjie a lot of face.After all, Di Renjie is a man.

"Old man."

Wu Mei saluted generously.

The old man nodded, looked at Di Renjie, and then at Li Chengqian: "Are you? The Crown Princess? Or this child's wife?"

The old man's words immediately made Wu Mei blush.

Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Old man, neither the Gu nor the younger brother have ever married, nor the younger sister. Well, Gu will help you to rest."

After the old man was settled, the three brothers and sisters got together to discuss things.

Li Chengqian said the old man's words again, and then said angrily: "Gu really didn't expect that the so-called support from the world is actually an empty cover."

Di Renjie shrugged, not knowing what to say.

Wu Mei handed Li Chengqian a cup of tea, and then said: "Senior brother, don't be upset. The reality is like this, not to mention lonely old people, even children, don't they have to be self-reliant? The places you go are usually prosperous areas, so naturally you can't see Seeing such a tragic event. Think about when my little sister was young, I saw too many children going out to beg without telling the adults because they didn’t have enough to eat.”

Listening to Wu Mei's narration, Li Chengqian couldn't help sighing.

Even if he heard such a thing, he couldn't do anything about it.

He is just a prince, not an emperor. There are many things he wants to do, but he can't.

Before that, he also wanted to travel to a few more state capitals and transfer more food relief to Dengzhou.

The governors all warmly welcomed his arrival, but after hearing his request, they all shook their heads.

Without the order of the court, they dare not transfer more food.Even if it is the prince who endorsed it, it will not work.In desperation, Li Chengqian could only run a little farther, emptied their inventory of silver coins at a bank, and spent money to buy them.

It's a hard feeling to have an idea but not be able to do it.

After thinking for a while, Di Renjie said: "Brother, do you want to build a special institution for these old people to support them?"

Li Chengqian nodded: "That's right. However, if this kind of thing is to be carried out throughout the Tang Dynasty, the court must contribute. Although Master's assets can support it, buying people's hearts is a serious crime, and Master cannot be involved."

Di Renjie laughed and said, "Although you can't make the decision, you can write a memorial to His Majesty!"

Li Chengqian said with a wry smile: "Even if I write it, it will be very difficult for my father to agree."

Di Renjie shook his head: "Your Majesty should agree, all dynasties have used such methods to buy people's hearts. Now that our Tang Dynasty is so rich, it must not be just a pretense like the previous dynasties, and it will definitely be implemented.

Now that it can be implemented, all that remains is to see how you can convince His Majesty. "

Li Chengqian shook his head: "Impossible, this is not a matter that the emperor alone can decide. Didn't you also stay with the master in the Ministry of War for a while? Think about it, the master had to pay the courtiers for the military expenses at the border. Let's play tricks, let alone such a dispensable thing."

Di Renjie: "."

Seeing the heated discussion between the two, Wu Mei, who had been on the sidelines, couldn't help but said: "Senior Brother, Di Renjie, aren't you two tired?"

The two people who were arguing turned their heads to look at Wu Mei.

Wu Mei stretched her waist, pointed to the northeast and said: "Master is in Dengzhou, why don't you go to Dengzhou to find Master? Master is so smart, it's better to ask Master than what you two are doing here. .”

"Yup!"

Di Renjie clapped his hands: "Let's go find Master! Besides, I've long wanted to see what the iron-clad ship that Senior Brother Qingque and the others built would look like!"

Li Chengqian nodded: "Then go to Master, but I have to settle this old man well before that."

No matter who it is, after hearing the old man's tragic story, he will feel compassion in his heart. Li Chengqian felt that such an old man should not be allowed to work at least at his age.

When Li Chengqian saw the old man, the old man was discussing with the guards at the door about leaving.

Hearing that the old man was leaving, Li Chengqian ran a few steps, stopped him and asked, "Old man, didn't I say that I want to settle down for you? Why are you leaving?"

The old man opened his toothless mouth and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, how many years do people of my age still have to live? Don't bother you, old man, I have hands and feet, so I won't die of starvation if I help others , whenever you can’t do the work anymore, you really deserve to die.”

Hearing what the old man said, Li Chengqian felt sad for no reason.

He was about to persuade him to stay again, but Song Baocai who just came back said, "Since I have hands and feet, my house still needs a fire burner. Do you want to come to work?"

Song Baocai knew that the old man had a strong self-esteem, and he didn't want to accept the prince's favor for no reason.

In this case, it is a good choice for him to help the prince.

Sure enough, the old man looked at Song Baocai and said, "My lord, the job of lighting the fire? Do it! Of course! Just let the old man have enough to eat!"

Song Baocai looked at Li Chengqian: "His Royal Highness, how good is this?"

Li Chengqian knew that Song Bao would settle down for the old man, so he nodded immediately: "Of course!"

The old man got settled, and Li Chengqian also let go of a burden.

Song Baocai returned the empty money bag to Li Chengqian, and said with a wry smile: "His Royal Highness, your checks are rarely recognized by merchants, and it took me a lot of effort to exchange them for grain. Such a bill, Can you really go to the bank to exchange money?"

Li Chengqian nodded: "Of course you can, but you have to cooperate with the password. Let's not talk about this, I will go to Dengzhou Mansion alone, and I may not come back."

Song Baocai was startled: "Your Highness is leaving?"

Although the time of contact was very short, he respected the prince very much.

Di Renjie said: "We are going to Dengzhou to meet Master, the Lord Protector. After the meeting, we will continue our travels."
